Jakob zegent de zonen van Jozef 1667

This etching by Jean Lepautre depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the moment when Jacob blesses his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh. The composition is set within a richly decorated architectural frame, typical of Lepautre's work. The artist's detailed portrayal of the scene within a Classical architectural setting exemplifies the Baroque style, popular in 17th-century France. This print, housed at the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable example of Lepautre's mastery of etching and his contributions to the history of architectural design in the Baroque period.
